Spike Milligan

This edition from the best-selling poetry series brings together the most beloved poems for children, from "The Owl and the Pussycat" through "On the Ning Nang Nong" to "I Know Someone Who Can" to "Us Two". 
 
The Nation's Favourite Children's Poems will compel and amuse adults and children alike, with poems drawn from themes as diverse as animals, schooldays, summer holidays, fun with friends and family, and fantastic daydreams - whether it is recalling the anxiety of starting school, as in Roger McGough's "First Day at School", the magical visit of a mythical beast in Adrian Henri's "Kate's Unicorn", or the nostalgic realisation that 'mother always knows best' in Pam Ayres's "Oh, I Wish I'd Looked After Me Teeth". Readers can revisit old favourites by Edward Lear, Hilaire Belloc and A.A. Milne, and dip into the modern musings of poets such as Wendy Cope and Allan Ahlberg. 
 
Introduced by Spike Milligan and including 30 specially commissioned illustrations, this is the perfect treasury of children's verse and will delight and entertain all generations for years to come.

Steve Backshall

Did you know that box jellyfish venom can stop a human heart in seconds? 
 
Or that modern scorpions’ ancestors were longer than the tallest humans? 
 
Or that the punching power of a mantis shrimp can shatter bulletproof glass? 
 
Steve Backshall has encountered deadly animals all over the world for over 25 years – and with Deadly he collects his most memorable experiences into a jaw-dropping compendium of fascinating facts about the most dangerous species on our planet. 
 
From ancient predators and cold-blooded killers to lethal lures and biggest bites, Steve revisits some of the best-known and most-feared beasts in the animal kingdom. His encounters include the orca, the most formidable predator on our planet today; the piranha’s unusually powerful bite force (which Steve has experienced first-hand, losing a couple of fingertips in the process!) and the phenomenally painful sting of the bullet ant – so named because a single sting feels like being shot – alongside many more weird and wonderful survival tactics and superpowers of the natural world. 
 
Drawing on his decades of experience in the field, Steve takes a heart-poundingly close look at the greatest record breakers in the animal kingdom, determines who would come out on top in a showdown between the deadliest animals to have ever lived, and uncovers all the drama of his adventures in pursuit of all things Deadly!
